Having been a YDL subscriber for 2 years, I have done this class before; however, I decided to do it again, after doing Caitlin’s back opener class on day 6 of the New Year Challenge. I really enjoy Eric’s classes and feel good being able to do handstands and forearm stands without using the wall; however, I prefer to start my forearm stand using a yoga block between my hands. As you mentioned, Eric, age isn’t necessarily a limiting factor since I will be 68 next month ??.

I loved the combination of philosophy and practical tips for inversions in this class. "Dedication to the higher things in life eliminates irritation" is my new life mantra! This short class gave me lots of ways to strengthen my upper body. The playful nature made these poses feel (almost) accessible. Forearm stand isn t something I thought I could access, but this class helped me find it. This class was a super fun inversion workshop.

I chose to do this class as one of my goals is to be able to do a handstand. Also, it was one of the three choices for my Yoga Challenge for 2022. I honestly found the class very difficult to follow and felt that the cues were insufficient. In addition, I obviously am not at the level required to do the steps he seems to go through with ease, although I am quite comfortable doing other intermediate advanced classes. I will keep working on my handstand but probably not with this class.

Also props suggest optional blocks but no instructions on how or when to use them.

Very hard for me!! I am definitely not at this level yet but hope to get there. No instructions for what to do if you can’t really get your legs up so stuck with down dog a lot. The final exercise was a great exercise for preparing to do these poses and I will practice those for a while before attempting this session again. My arms have the strength I think but need to work on my core more. Hoping some weakness in my right wrist won’t prevent me from doing it.

Great instructions. I wanted something challenging and I got it. My personal goal is to achieve a handstand and a forearm Stand. It s a goal and I ve got a long way to go. I ll need to go to. a sports store and pick up some protective gear :). My fear of falling is high. I was able to do L - shape at the wall, with ease. I will not give up.

He is literally THE BEST handstand teacher and general yoga teacher I have ever had. THANK YOU for helping me with my handstands. Brilliant. Hands down. :D

Completed this class with my 9 year old daughter who just loved it! She giggled and laughed at Eric s witty comments and jokes, while doing effortless handstands without fear! That alone will have me coming back, but I also look forward to developing my practice and eventually doing a handstand. I can say that through Eric s instruction I was able to successfully perform a forearm stand, which is a kick in the right direction! Thanks Eric

This was fun to get up on my hands again! As a 59 year old ex gymnast, my body still knows and can find that "stacked" feeling, and I m so grateful because it s a great feeling!

I have developed a recent interest in working towards a handstand and this instructional video was fantastic in helping me work toward that goal, thank you!

Wow—what a cool class! I’ve set an intention to try to have one inversion without a wall by my 40th birthday (2 more months now). I’ve taken other tutorial classes, but this was the first one where I really felt the mechanics of the poses upright or supine when I could just focus on the alignment and muscle engagement. I got genuine hang time in handstand prep and I found that I could confidently kick up into handstand and forearm stand against the wall, even suspending for a split second before I brought it back down. This is by far the closest I have come to either of these poses. That core work at the end is going to become a regular part of my routine. Thanks, Eric!

I took an inversion workshop a few years ago with so-so results; the pointers I got from this class really helped. Eric s humor really makes the intolerable tolerable!

Great class!! I have wrist and tennis elbow issues and this class helped me to understand the proper placement to get into the poses. The best part was the core tip at the end - will definitely be practicing that daily. Thank you Eric for a wonderful class.

What a great class! I love how you explain how to get into a pose. Quite challenging for me as my shoulders are not that strong, but I will for sure keep on practicing.
Thank you!

Great class and wonderful instruction. That was the first time I was able to do a forearm stand and got significant air time in handstand. I m going to keep on practicing with your great cues!

Great class! I m going to repeat the determination/irritation mantra at work to help mitigate the daily stress. And, for the first time, my foot brushed the wall on handstand; doing the poses horizontally to feel the muscles I needed to use helped a ton!

I will repeat this one and work toward progress.

This was so good! So much detail and the step by step approach felt like I could really make progress through practice. In the meantime I definitely feel like I m working out with every session! Stronger through dedication. Thank you!

I am in no way near doing any version of a handstand but enjoyed the technical application. I gave everything an extremely modified try. Mostly flailing donkey kicks. The final pose really made sense to me and instead of trying to do stands, I’m going to work on that pose and then maybe one day return to this with more promise. Thanks Eric.
